GEORGE PELLINGER, OF AKRON, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO THE GOODRIOH HARD l RUBBER COMPANY, OF SAME PLAOE.

PENHOLDER.

SPECIFICATION formng part of Letters Patent No. 492,102, dated February 21, 1893.

Application filed August 29.1892.

T0 a/ZZ whom it may conccrn:

Be it known that I, GEORGE PLLINGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Akron, in the county of Summit and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Penholders, of which'the following is a specification. w

The object of my invention is to produce as a new article of manufacture an improved pen holder in which the pen may be readily placed and fastened, and from which it may be as readily removed, although attaohed by corrosion of the pen or dried ink.

My invention consists in the peculiar construction, arrangement and combination of parts hereinafter described and then specifically pointed out in the claim, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of this specification.

In the accompanying drawings, in which similar reference numerals indicate like parts in the different figures: Figure 1, is an elevation of my improved pen holder,'the operative parts being shown in central, longitudinal section; Fig. 2, an end view from the pen end; and Fig. 3, a cross-section at the line x, oc, of Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings, 1 is the stal or stem of the holder, cylindrical in shape and otherwise configured as desired, but preferably tapering in form. The larger or pen end is formed in a true cylinder for a short distance, ordinarily, two inches, the line between it and the extended portion `divided by an abrupt shonlder 2. The outer end of this cylindrical portion has on opposite sides, recesses, 3,adapted to receive the pen. Surrounding this cylindrical portion of the stem is a sleeve 4, adapted to closely fit and turn thereon, with its inner end resting against the shonlder 2,

Serial No. 444.386. (No model.)

and its outer end cut to conform to the end of the stem '1. In one side of this sleeve 4, is a recess 5, substantially conforming with one of the recesses 3, in the stem, so that when the recesses register, a pen may be inserted, and, by turning the sleeve, retained against the stem, and, by the reverse operation, released.

To retain the sleeve 4, on the staff 1, I cut oppositely-disposed grooves in each; an internal groove in the sleeve and an external groove in the stem, and in this grooveI insert a cut metallic ring 6,suificiently tlexible to permit of bending, and of such length as, when its ends are united, to rest, in the groove in the stem and permit the sleeve to pass.

The form here shown is the one I prefer, but the pen recess may be omitted from the cylindrical part of the stem, leaving the latter a true cylinder, but the advantage of the pen recess is that its edges form an abutment for the edge of the pen as the sleeve is revolved, hence retaining it so as to loosen it from the sleeve if attached to it by corrosion or dried ink.

I claim as my invention- In a pen holder, the combination with the stem and its cylindrical portion having a groove, and the sleeve arranged to fit said cylindrical portion and having an internal groove opposite the groove of said stem, of the cut ring adapted'to enter and rest in said grooves, as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I hereunto set my hand.

GEORGE PELLINGER.

In presence of- C. P. HUMPHREY, J. A. BUEL.
